It was Israel’s land in the first place. It is the land of the Jews and always has been. Before it was renamed Palestine by occupiers the land was called Judea and Samaria.
@@emmettdonkeydoodle6230It was Canaanites land before the land of the “Jews”, and Palestinians- especially Palestinian JEWS, have a majority of that DNA. Either way it’ll never excuse the crimes against humanity that Israel has committed since its’ existence. To justify it is to show how inhumane you truly are.
It is this essential mistake that Palestinians keep making for 75 years plus. This idea that they will kick us out of the country. As you can see, that hasn’t worked too well for them but they’re not that bright and they’ll likely keep trying. They had opportunity for peace, but they actually believe what you wrote above and that’s why they have nothing now. Gaza will be stripped to nothing because of the latest war that they started. just like 1948. What a wasted people . All they do is destroy

@@TruthSeekernpl No ethnic cleansing occurred against Jews in Arab countries in 1948. Jews of Arab countries themselves decided to go to Israel. In some cases, they were fooled by Israeli agents themselves. And Israel is skill AshkeNAZI majority.
as a black man from america when it comes to soul food our music and people who have done us the same way with the same skin tone and same EUROPEAN ancestry......I can fully relate to having your culture and food appropriated. I can understand full well what it means to have everything of yours......COLONIZED.
Israelis don't even claim to own the concept of these dishes. They just have their own regional variations of these dishes. It's only in foreign countries where they present this as Israeli. This is like saying black people are culturally appropriating Europeans when they make sandwiches. Totally bad faith when it goes the other way around, for some reason.
@@nafaidniyou included what their problem with this is, that they present it as their own to other cultures who don't know better, thus colonizing it.
@@rotemaviaroor buddy ive tasted israeli food first hand when i visited al-aqsa. and honestly bro im surprised you dont walk back into the chambers yourself and turn the taps on, tastes like SHIT. no authenticity, dull, bland flavour, and you've managed to ruin popular dishes from other countries and branded it as "israeli". the nicest thing i had there was some cracker flatbread thing i was told has something to do with the exodus and even that shit was soggy
The fried dough balls dipped in syrup, we have it in India as well!! We call it Gulab Jamun!! Never knew it came from Palestine!! You learn something new everyday!!
I love how the palestinian territory looks so multicultural, somewhere you want to explore and experience. Then any city in Israel is a copy/paste of an american city and they achieved to make them look bland and boring.
Nah. Israelj cuisine is not the same as Palestine cuisine at all. Not even a little bit. There are much larger influences in Israeli cuisine that come from country, such as Morocco and Yemen and Iraq and Poland. Don’t believe everything you watch on a RUclips video.
@@Bigredfitnessmoshe They learned many dishes from the Palestinians, which is perfectly fine. The issue arises when you market these foods as part of your cultural heritage, while simultaneously denying the existence of the people you learned it from.
Thank you for making this video and showcasing your peoples culture and heritage. The level of disrespect the Palestinians have endured is truly unparalleled but they are a vibrant, strong and victorious people. Love, solidarity and respect from Atlanta, GA, USA ❤🇵🇸🙌🏽
In Cancun, Mexico I saw several Jewish -or israeli business. Some restaurants advertised "Israeli food". One of them even had "Israeli salad" on the menu. I told the employee, an indigenous Mexican woman to ask the owner, who she said was french, to ask him if the salad dressing was made with the blood of Palestinian children.
Seeing this today, knowing what the Israelis have done are doing to these very same places, the bombing, everything destroyed, all the people, it’s shocking. Although what all the footage we’ve seen is a small window into the hearts of Palestinians and I pray for them every day.

It's a bigger issue.
They stole everything from Palestinians, it was the Palestinians mistake to show them hospitality when they were kicked out of Europe. We all saw their brutality and the world is awakening.
@@Bigredfitnessmoshethat was when the AshkeNAZI jewss came semi naked, malnourished, literally begging for a home to Palestin.e after they were chased away from Europe
The Jewish Zionist migration began in 1882, Mr Dipshit. That's 47 years before the Hebron massacre. It wasn't until the native Palestinians knew what the zionists were doing (hoping to create an ethnostate on land already occupied) that there were hostilities.
@@Bigredfitnessmoshe Ok so they didn't steal the music (according to you, the self-proclaimed audiophile music expert) that makes it so much better bro? Still stole their land, their homes, and their food. And you yourself know it's true because you didn't even try and deny it 😂

I once went to a Spanish restaurant where I first heard of an Israeli salad. I told my friend who had ordered it that I wouldn’t be touching that. He was confused but nowadays understand the pricipled stance I took that may have seemed silly to him when he didn’t know any better.
Knafeh is said to date back to the Umayyad Empire of the 10th century.... SYRIA? Egypt? No! Palestine! Just as all other Arab food is NOW Palestinians' cultural and intellectual property. You people are amazing!
I'm in a part of Sydney surrounded by restaurants selling "Israeli" food, which is indistinguishable from the other restaurants in the city selling Palestinian and other Levant food... it's wild.
Of course. They are Eastern European. Their traditional food looks like the heavy food they have there, not Mediterranean. Misappropriated, like everything else.

A wonderful channel When I saw that sweet dish I started to drool 🤤 Israelis were kicked out from the west and british created/stole the land of Palestine and gave it to israel😮 but now Palestinians are fighting back and will reclaim their beautiful land and culture
Let me point to a serious issue : How difficult is it to have 200 RUclips accounts run by 2 or 10 soldiers of a particular military group or unit in the Israeli army to affect the public opinion in the comments section? Let them be 500 soldiers talking multiple languages, with every account pretending to be someone of a particular background and personality. E.g. might be religious, atheist, resistance supporter, victim, Evangelist, Muslim, average citizen, just absolutely anything. They might pretend to be opponents in politics and social views or anything. One of them might provoke a rage. This way they can drive a reaction and orient the public opinion either to make a conflict, divert attention away from massacres, weaken the intrinsic reaction, leveraging side issues, manipulating priorities, deepening loyalty to bad institutions, causing disturbance among/ between religious/ ethnic groups, spreading rumors, character assassination... So how to know the truth? Follow your heart not your desire! Your heart is on the opposite side of the colonialists' interests who don't care about you, absolutely whoever you were. Please share and help spread the word if you like the idea.
I would love to visit Palestine later on when Palestine is Free from occupation.. becouse Palestine culture, the people and the food is incredible.. just hope Palestine will be free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤❤❤
@@beyourownbeliever I think the British & United Nations should also be partially blamed for splitting up the Palestinian & Jewish Territories in a rush with Absurd Borders. They obviously tried to dump & run with the problem. Like what kind of Genius thought: Oh lets just split Palestine in half. Recipe for Disaster. I hope one day we can have a reunified Palestine where Palestinians and Jews can live peacefully side by side on the holy sacred land that is the Levant (Present day Israel & Palestine). Whilst I do hate Hamas, I also hate the Israeli Government and specifically, the son of a bitch who goes by the name of Netanyahu. Unlike many who have chose to pick sides, I am staying relatively Neutral, because the only side I am on is Peace.
they literally stole everything, in london the israeli restaurants culture is crazy and while some of them are clearly really good, especially in jewish areas such as where i live in NW london, the cultural appropriation is actually insane
@@penyarol83 Now as in during the war with Hamas? Or some broader now? Israel is currently waging a horrible but necessary war against a terrorist organisation that committed the per capita equivalent of three 9/11s against it. You mean a different "now"? The blockade of Gaza by Israel and Egypt was only started after Israel withdrew in 2005. Hamas won the elections, then staged a coup, killing members of Fatah, and then started shooting rockets at Israel whilst declaring a desire to kill all Jews.
Even on the Wikipedia page, I spotted more dishes from other countries/cultures than I did original creations. Clicking on the pages for each food on the list of Dishes claimed to be Israeli, alot of the dishes are either European (Mostly German or Russian), Berber, Kurdish, Persian, or Arab dishes.
It’s like saying all the worlds stole the pizza from Italy 🇮🇹 😂, Israel have 2m Arabs citizens that most Palestinians ( 2m from the 9.5m), and also many people from all the cultures of the world, so make sense you will have every kind of food in Israel in some point 😂 it’s more Arab dish , no Palestinians dish , and no only 2 m Arabs btw , many Arabs jews that came from Arabs countries , so Arabs dishes is very common in Israel
You miss the entire point. Learning the dishes of other cultures and enjoying them is wonderful, and the world has the right to enjoy dishes from everywhere. The issue only arises when you learn food from another culture, claim it as YOUR culture, and simultaneously deny the very existence of the people, you learned it from.

Israel will pay for their. Every single piece of land given back to the Palestinians.
Yeah, that's like asking Ukrainians to pay back lands to Russians. ALso Palestinians are Arabs
No you pay for your terror can you not tell at this point?
It was Israel’s land in the first place. It is the land of the Jews and always has been. Before it was renamed Palestine by occupiers the land was called Judea and Samaria.
@@emmettdonkeydoodle6230It was Canaanites land before the land of the “Jews”, and Palestinians- especially Palestinian JEWS, have a majority of that DNA.
Either way it’ll never excuse the crimes against humanity that Israel has committed since its’ existence. To justify it is to show how inhumane you truly are.
It is this essential mistake that Palestinians keep making for 75 years plus. This idea that they will kick us out of the country. As you can see, that hasn’t worked too well for them but they’re not that bright and they’ll likely keep trying. They had opportunity for peace, but they actually believe what you wrote above and that’s why they have nothing now. Gaza will be stripped to nothing because of the latest war that they started. just like 1948. What a wasted people . All they do is destroy
الكنافة شهرتها فلسطينية نابلسية من مئات السنين.
اما ان يدعوا انها اس رائ يلية فكذب باوضح صوره..
الكنافة يدخل في اعدادها السمن البلدي وهو عند اليهود ممنوع كذلك يدخل فيها الجبنة وهي ايضا ممنوعة دينيا عند اليهود..لذلك هي فلسطينية اصلية مئة بالمئة.
Thank you Salem for showing us the beauty of Palestine that we don't get to see. Looking forward to the next episode.
10 % of population of Ottoman Palestine was Jewish. There were huge Jewish population in Arab countries before they were ethnically cleansed from those lands. Even now slight majority of Israeli population is Shephardic Mizrahi meaning they had ancestors who immigrated from Arab countries. Its their food as much as its yours.
@@TruthSeekernpl No ethnic cleansing occurred against Jews in Arab countries in 1948. Jews of Arab countries themselves decided to go to Israel. In some cases, they were fooled by Israeli agents themselves. And Israel is skill AshkeNAZI majority.
as a black man from america when it comes to soul food our music and people who have done us the same way with the same skin tone and same EUROPEAN ancestry......I can fully relate to having your culture and food appropriated. I can understand full well what it means to have everything of yours......COLONIZED.
No you’re just ignorant
Israelis don't even claim to own the concept of these dishes. They just have their own regional variations of these dishes. It's only in foreign countries where they present this as Israeli.
This is like saying black people are culturally appropriating Europeans when they make sandwiches. Totally bad faith when it goes the other way around, for some reason.
@@nafaidni I guess you are a zionist.

So called Palestinian food is actually foods from syria egypt jordan and Lebanon a Palestinian people never existed
Jew won't spare anything.... Long live palestine 🇵🇸
I love how the palestinian territory looks so multicultural, somewhere you want to explore and experience. Then any city in Israel is a copy/paste of an american city and they achieved to make them look bland and boring.
Because the Jews are not from there and they don't belong there. They are mostly from NYC!
Makes me wish to visit Jordan
You have clearly never been to israel
J'aurais du visiter la Palestine avant qu'elle ne soit sauvagement détruite 😢
Multicultural lol. Man, you are delusional.
What? They even stole the cuisine😂😂😂
Nah. Israelj cuisine is not the same as Palestine cuisine at all. Not even a little bit. There are much larger influences in Israeli cuisine that come from country, such as Morocco and Yemen and Iraq and Poland. Don’t believe everything you watch on a RUclips video.
Yes. Theft comes naturally to them.
@@Bigredfitnessmoshe
They learned many dishes from the Palestinians, which is perfectly fine. The issue arises when you market these foods as part of your cultural heritage, while simultaneously denying the existence of the people you learned it from.
But 20% of israel are palestinian arabs .
Thank you for making this video and showcasing your peoples culture and heritage. The level of disrespect the Palestinians have endured is truly unparalleled but they are a vibrant, strong and victorious people. Love, solidarity and respect from Atlanta, GA, USA ❤🇵🇸🙌🏽
love seeing the true origins of these recipes and the stories behind them! more videos like this please!
In Cancun, Mexico I saw several Jewish -or israeli business. Some restaurants advertised "Israeli food". One of them even had "Israeli salad" on the menu. I told the employee, an indigenous Mexican woman to ask the owner, who she said was french, to ask him if the salad dressing was made with the blood of Palestinian children.
I love you for that
Astonishing presence of mind! 😊
So you just randomly harass Israeli businesses?
Awesome !!!!
Damn, foods are getting Israeled.
I love Palestinian people and the culture and this just breaks me because I want to visit so badly
That thumbnail, mate! ❤ All the love and best with wishes to my Palistinian Brothers and Sister!!!
Middle Eastern food is the best .
I agree 💯
Seeing this today, knowing what the Israelis have done are doing to these very same places, the bombing, everything destroyed, all the people, it’s shocking. Although what all the footage we’ve seen is a small window into the hearts of Palestinians and I pray for them every day.
Don’t start wars and then complain when you lose.

Jews were eating falafel before the Zionist movement. What's your point?

@@gaweul8-vv1mk by your logic Palestinian falafel would also be wrong
@@12BKLmySHOO no, flafel is Egyptian and we all know that but Palastenian made it their own using chickpeas instead of fava beans so as Egypt you Will find the type of flafel named after the ingredients.There is the Egyptian and the levant .This is a result of a history of sharing, commerce and marriage..but Israel as an oppressor.they try to erase the culture of Palestine so they can act like this country never existed..I have an older than Israel ticket to an Egyptian musician in" Palestine".. stealing the culture is a part of the ethnic cleansing for Palastenians .. It's a bigger issue.

They stole everything from Palestinians, it was the Palestinians mistake to show them hospitality when they were kicked out of Europe. We all saw their brutality and the world is awakening.
They showed Jews hospitality? I must’ve missed that one. Was that before or after the 1938 Hevron massacre?
@@Bigredfitnessmoshethat was when the AshkeNAZI jewss came semi naked, malnourished, literally begging for a home to Palestin.e after they were chased away from Europe
The Jewish Zionist migration began in 1882, Mr Dipshit. That's 47 years before the Hebron massacre. It wasn't until the native Palestinians knew what the zionists were doing (hoping to create an ethnostate on land already occupied) that there were hostilities.
Israel stole Palestinian land, homes, songs, music, food etc....

Its like Indians appropriating pakistani culture
can we leave other politics out of this im pakistani i dont wanna see this sh3t rn
Indian and Pakistani food is 90% similar, there's no appropriation at all
Lol they stole everything. Keep blaming others....
Knafeh is said to date back to the Umayyad Empire of the 10th century.... SYRIA? Egypt? No! Palestine! Just as all other Arab food is NOW Palestinians' cultural and intellectual property. You people are amazing!
Bro now I want to try Palestinian food but there aren't any Palestinian places near me 😭
I'm in a part of Sydney surrounded by restaurants selling "Israeli" food, which is indistinguishable from the other restaurants in the city selling Palestinian and other Levant food... it's wild.
Of course. They are Eastern European. Their traditional food looks like the heavy food they have there, not Mediterranean. Misappropriated, like everything else.

When I saw that sweet dish I started to drool 🤤 Israelis were kicked out from the west and british created/stole the land of Palestine and gave it to israel😮 but now Palestinians are fighting back and will reclaim their beautiful land and culture
next theyll say israel stole there idieas of the iron dome disk on key and there high tec
i don't know about stealing it, but i know Turks have it too and love Kunefe as our own.
THANK YOU PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇹🇷
Let me point to a serious issue :
How difficult is it to have 200 RUclips accounts run by 2 or 10 soldiers of a particular military group or unit in the Israeli army to affect the public opinion in the comments section?
Let them be 500 soldiers talking multiple languages, with every account pretending to be someone of a particular background and personality. E.g. might be religious, atheist, resistance supporter, victim, Evangelist, Muslim, average citizen, just absolutely anything. They might pretend to be opponents in politics and social views or anything. One of them might provoke a rage. This way they can drive a reaction and orient the public opinion either to make a conflict, divert attention away from massacres, weaken the intrinsic reaction, leveraging side issues, manipulating priorities, deepening loyalty to bad institutions, causing disturbance among/ between religious/ ethnic groups, spreading rumors, character assassination...
So how to know the truth? Follow your heart not your desire! Your heart is on the opposite side of the colonialists' interests who don't care about you, absolutely whoever you were.
Please share and help spread the word if you like the idea.
I would love to visit Palestine later on when Palestine is Free from occupation.. becouse Palestine culture, the people and the food is incredible.. just hope Palestine will be free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤❤❤
There was no occupation of Gaza on October 6. Zero

@@beyourownbeliever I think the British & United Nations should also be partially blamed for splitting up the Palestinian & Jewish Territories in a rush with Absurd Borders. They obviously tried to dump & run with the problem. Like what kind of Genius thought: Oh lets just split Palestine in half. Recipe for Disaster. I hope one day we can have a reunified Palestine where Palestinians and Jews can live peacefully side by side on the holy sacred land that is the Levant (Present day Israel & Palestine). Whilst I do hate Hamas, I also hate the Israeli Government and specifically, the son of a bitch who goes by the name of Netanyahu. Unlike many who have chose to pick sides, I am staying relatively Neutral, because the only side I am on is Peace.
damn they even steal food culture?

@@thelionofgodit would be terrible if Palestinians treated them like they are now treating the Palestinians, wouldn’t it?
@@penyarol83 Now as in during the war with Hamas? Or some broader now?
Israel is currently waging a horrible but necessary war against a terrorist organisation that committed the per capita equivalent of three 9/11s against it.
You mean a different "now"? The blockade of Gaza by Israel and Egypt was only started after Israel withdrew in 2005. Hamas won the elections, then staged a coup, killing members of Fatah, and then started shooting rockets at Israel whilst declaring a desire to kill all Jews.
@@thelionofgod they can live peacefully together? Also im talking about the 67 border not the whole country
Even on the Wikipedia page, I spotted more dishes from other countries/cultures than I did original creations.
Clicking on the pages for each food on the list of Dishes claimed to be Israeli, alot of the dishes are either European (Mostly German or Russian), Berber, Kurdish, Persian, or Arab dishes.
I've never hated anything or anyone in my life until I found out about the zionists
deal with it
This is complete BS 😂
Nobody in Israel ever claims knafe as an Israeli desert. Nobody.

Thanks!
Already stole land n now arose food...
It’s like saying all the worlds stole the pizza from Italy 🇮🇹 😂, Israel have 2m Arabs citizens that most Palestinians ( 2m from the 9.5m), and also many people from all the cultures of the world, so make sense you will have every kind of food in Israel in some point 😂 it’s more Arab dish , no Palestinians dish , and no only 2 m Arabs btw , many Arabs jews that came from Arabs countries , so Arabs dishes is very common in Israel
You miss the entire point. Learning the dishes of other cultures and enjoying them is wonderful, and the world has the right to enjoy dishes from everywhere. The issue only arises when you learn food from another culture, claim it as YOUR culture, and simultaneously deny the very existence of the people, you learned it from.
im an Egyptian ,,
i believe that lots of current israeli citizens migrated from Egypt in the 50's
That Doesnt Make Koshari an Israeli Dish !
Same Goes for Hummus and Falafel .
Whoever steals land ,, Can easily steal culture !
Uber Eats in the recent month was showing all Palestinian and Levantine dishes under the keywords ‘Israeli’. They aren’t even ashamed anymore.
